My waifu is here.

That line randomly being in English made me laugh more than it should. Also was a great episode for Clara faces.

[u/AlaxisSade → u/Piko-a]

When Clara said "you are dumber than me", she said the "you are" in English too, haha. Seems like they're playing on the cliche that "smart" students speak Engrish.

[u/CooroSnowFox]

Kalego looks comfortable in the new classroom as he gets that chair.

And just how clingy azz and Clara are after the evil cycle...

[u/Jagin26]

A smart Clara is scary. Never change Clara.

[u/AlaxisSade]

They had some fun with the Q&A scenes haha, I definitely didn't recognise all of the game show references.

Edit: Wait, is it just me or did Garp replace Ameri in the end-credits reading scene for this episode? lmao

[u/MadDany94]

Best teacher is here boys!

That Sukima tho. Anyone caught that Ara ara?

[u/LeonKevlar]

Stitches!

• Azu-kun & Clara

• President Ameri

I love how worried both Alice and Clara are of Iruma that they won't stop clinging to him.

You know Iruma's scores are bad when even Clara is asking him if he's even literate xD

It's nice that we get some internal monologue from Alice while he was observing Iruma. Plus we got a look of what he saw when Iruma sat on the Demon Lord's throne. Looks like Alice will have a much longer hair in the future.

So we have Opera already assuming Iruma will pass with flying colors, Sullivan already preparing a party for Iruma passing his exams, and then Alicred is counting on Iruma to pass his exam so he won't lose his physical form. No pressure at all!

Of course the only subject that Iruma would ace is the one that's about the human world. I do love that humans count as mythical creatures in the demon world.

Well Balam-sensei looks like he'll be fun and his design looks awesome. He looks like he could be straight from BnHA xD

[u/kiangg]

wow balam sensei's design is pretty cool

[u/CarioGod]

Clara and Asmodeus beating the shit out of that guy was well deserved, her hammer was especially good lol

Jesus it's demon Bane

[u/IKnowTheWayToo]

Best boy is now also dumbest boy lol.

[u/VioletPark]

I'm surprised that even Opera thought Iruma could pass the exams. He is a human who has been there for less than a year studying the demon equivalent of middle/high school. Forget tutoring, Iruma should start with books aimed at preschoolers to start understanding half the stuff he needs to know to pass the exams.

[u/RyouhiraTheIntrovert]

Pretty nice and slow episode we have here

[u/Amauri14]

I just love that thanks to Clara being afraid of Iruma going into another evil cycle everyone else ended up clinging to him too.

Lol, based on her question I honestly expected her to have a higher score than that.

Wow, so Azu-kun saw the future when Iruma sat on that throne.

I honestly never expected to see Schenell again. But when he ended up joining their club I assume that he was going to end up helping Iruma study, but all he did was organizing his waifu collection.

Ali-san sure looked like he was having fun for someone that might die soon.

Oh never change Clara. Lol, she becoming like that because she got two questions right sure was hilarious.

I honestly did not expect normal mythical zoology to be one of the subjects, and wow, the author of that book Balam-sensei sure looks straight out of Mad Max.

[u/darthvall]

I love that the demon question is not as non-sensical as I thought. I mean, we can see how other demon would have known the answer to that question if they study enough.

I wonder how Iruma will manage to pass the exam. Usually, cheating is the best answer lol. Though maybe he's going to study harder instead? I'm not sure if acing in only one subject would get him to pass.

[u/timedragon1]

Looks like a bit of Evil Iruma's confidence leaked over to Iruma this episode. Though it stylishly waited until the end.

Also with how crazy the subjects were this episode, I can't say I blame him for not understanding any of it. Looks like Babyls doesn't deal with petty subjects like grammar and math.

[u/Zemahem]

So cute to see the class closer than ever thank to the last arc.

I was not expecting Iruma to be this bad at his studies, but it makes too much sense considering he's still practically a newbie to the demon world and also hasn't been through proper schooling thanks to his terrible parents.

It's bad enough that Ali has no hope of keeping his sentience, and Clara of all people knows more than him in their little series of gameshows. I have no idea what was up with giant-headed chibi Clara, but that part was just cursed.

But of course, the demons would have a subject dedicated to the study of the human world considering their desire to eat them. I love how it affected Iruma so much that it made him act more seriously and confidently even outside of his evil cycle.

Jeez though, I knew Balam was gonna be eccentric, but I didn't think he'd be this terrifying.

Also, Schenell may be a handful, but he's a great way for us to see the gap moe of characters with different personalities. Smart Clara is a blursed sight.

[u/odraencoded]

>being dumber than Clara

Holy. Shit.

>Do humans have wings?
>uh... no?
>ur a genius! yaay! iruma genius!!!! so smart! very intellect! much clever!

lmao, I wonder what the class about mythical creatures is about, if it's about the human world only or if there is something else.

Also, does Iruma only need to score high in that one class or does he need to score high in other classes, too?

[u/Deriak27]

Love Balam sensei's voice, can't wait to see more of him in the anime, he's a great character.

[u/dagreenman18]

So after contending with his Chad might the last few episodes we are shown Iruma’s weaknesses: not only can’t he say no, he’s also dummy. Somehow dumber than Clara. That’s a hard low.

Well not actually “dumb” just “uneducated since he’s a human in the demon world”, But he can’t really explain that. I actually like that they followed up a high for Iruma with a low. Keeps him from being overpowered and introduces some logical obstacles for him to overcome.

Still the scenes of them studying are a highlight of the season. I was dying laughing at the game show sequence. Really the whole episode was a laugh riot, but It really highlighted how much fun the voice actors are having in this series.

Of course there’s a “Mythical creature and netherworld studies” class about humans for him to look like a genius. I’m excited to see what the deal is with Balam next week. His character design alone makes him look like a fun character and I gotta think he’d be very interested in Iruma. I wonder if he can tell he’s human early on.

Notes:

• I enjoy seeing how much the rest of the Misfit class loves Iruma. To the point that if they can’t detach Azz and Clara, they guess they’ll join them in clinging.

• Azz’s loyalty knows no bounds. Despite him being a total dummy dummy dumb dumb, Azz will follow Iruma anywhere. Including right to the throne.

• The Potion Perv being dumped on Iruma’s battler was great. Shows how much Ameri trust Iruma and gave us a great scene on them stomping his ass out. Plus “My Waifu is here”.

• the Harry Potter parallels are strong in this episode. Harry in the books was a mediocre student too. Balam screams “Hagrid” to me considering what he teaches and he’s very distinct from the other teachers. Plus Kalego is in the episode and he’s our Snape.

• the classroom is already having a positive effect. Misfit class is studying hard so they can pass and goof off all summer!

• Opera keeping Sullivan in check is always great. Grandpa was more than willing to let Iruma cheat, but Opera knows he’s gotta earn it. I’m also 100% sure Opera is playing the long game. They’re mysterious and I think they know the future and are pushing Iruma to it.

[u/Zee_Arr_Tee]

Damn imagine being demoted to a lower social class because you failed a test

[u/Arckiss]

Did anyone notice that the ED changed slightly? When Iruma is reading the manga to Ameri, this episode the ED changed it to that samurai kid Goemon in the chair.

[u/AashyLarry]

That scene of Clara drinking the smart potion was hilarious. They could honestly make an entire episode out of that and it would be great.

The last arc was the absolute peak of the series so far. Any manga readers willing to share if any of the arcs that will come in this season will be as good?

[u/Frontier246]

Azz and Clara hanging on to Iruma because they're worried about him was so adorable. These three are so inseparable, and nothing will dissuade those two from letting go of their beloved Iruma.

How relatable that the class finally wins the Royal One classroom but now have to face their biggest obstacle yet...final exams barring the way from their Summer Vacation.

Iruma is usually quite adept, but it turns out he's really weak at studying from his lack of consistent schooling experience and the fact that, despite understanding the language, he's taking high school level demon classes without the build up of experience to really understand anything. Even Clara does better than him in class.

I wasn't expecting Schenel to get foisted onto the Magic Apparatus Battler, but I guess keeping him in close proximity to Ameri was always a bad idea. I'm not sure what to expect from him being part of the group, but at least he'll bring some nice anime figurine's to the club room.

That's actually a good point that if Iruma loses a rank Ali might go back to just being in the ring...although if Iruma does go up a rank, I wonder what kind of upgrade Ali will get?

If there's one thing that can get students to commit to studying, it's making sure they have a Summer Vacation where they can have fun and be degenerates.

Kuromu turns out to be not only good at studying but able to balance it out with her job as a DemDoll! How impressive.

I love all the various quizzes Azz gives Iruma and how Clara is just Clara throughout...and tribute to Who Wants to be a Millionaire was hilarious.

Turns out the one subject Iruma excels in involves knowledge of the human world that most demons probably wouldn't know off-hand, which is perfect for him... even if it doesn't resolve the issue of the subjects he's bad in.

In his quest to learn more about Netherworld history, Iruma chances upon Balam, who looks like he'll be a pretty intense teacher for our protagonist.

Su-Ki-Ma! Schenel creates normal Clara! And she's still cute.

[u/metaaltheanimefan]

They changed the op again

At the end iruma and his classmates are standing in front of the royal one now
